Job description

Be part of one of the fastest-growing climate tech companies transforming how businesses manage carbon.

Cedars Digital is looking for a Technical Lead to help drive the next stage of our regional and global growth.

We're building AI-powered carbon management solutions that enable enterprises to measure, manage, and reduce their carbon footprint across increasingly complex operations and supply chains. Our ambition is simple but bold - to help businesses move beyond carbon reporting and towards meaningful carbon action.

If you're passionate about technology, sustainability, and building lasting customer relationships while solving real business challenges, we'd love to meet you.

What you'll be doing:

As a Technical Lead, you'll play a key role in designing, building and scaling our enterprise SaaS platform.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading an engineering squad, providing technical direction, driving delivery, and helping the team make sound engineering decisions while maintaining a high bar for code quality and execution.
• Designing, developing and maintaining full-stack web applications using TypeScript, React.js, Node.js and NestJS.
• Building responsive, scalable and maintainable user interfaces across our micro-frontend architecture (Module Federation) and Next.js App Router applications.
• Designing and implementing RESTful APIs, working contract-first from OpenAPI specifications and technical design documentation.
• Designing database schemas and optimising queries using PostgreSQL, while managing asynchronous workloads with Redis and message queues.
• Delivering product features end-to-end - from technical design and implementation through testing and production deployment.
• Writing unit, integration and end-to-end tests (Jest & Playwright) while actively participating in code reviews.
• Troubleshooting production issues and continuously improving application performance, reliability and maintainability.
• Working with applications deployed on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Kubernetes.
• Contributing to GitLab development workflows and CI/CD pipelines.
• Collaborating closely with Product Managers, Designers, QA Engineers and distributed engineering teams.
• Exploring opportunities to integrate AI-powered capabilities and AI agents into our platform.

What will help you succeed in this role:

• At least 8-10 years of professional experience in full-stack or software engineering.
• Experience in leading or providing technical direction to an engineering squad, including guiding technical decisions, supporting engineers, and driving delivery.
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript and JavaScript.
• Hands-on experience building modern frontend applications using React.js.
• Experience building backend services with Node.js, NestJS, Express.js, or similar frameworks.
• Strong understanding of RESTful API design and implementation, with experience working against API specifications and contracts.
• Solid experience with relational databases, SQL and PostgreSQL.
• Good understanding of software design principles, clean code and scalable architecture.
• Experience working with Git-based development workflows.
• Experience writing unit and integration tests.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving and debugging skills.
• The ability to balance hands-on technical contribution with squad leadership while collaborating effectively across distributed and cross-functional teams.
